Damage is estimated at $50,000 from a fire involving a small woodworking shed on Ridgemount Avenue, near Moonlight Avenue, in the city Tuesday night. Seventeen firefighters from three stations fought the blaze, which broke out about 8:35 p.m. and produced severe smoke and fire damage. The cause of the fire is still under investigation. Luckily, no one was injured.

“Every home in Ontario must have a working smoke alarm on every storey and outside all sleeping areas,” the firefighters are reminding the public. “Test your smoke alarms once a month and replace the batteries every year. Smoke alarms can increase your chances of surviving a fire by up to 50 per cent.”
